Prop 39 2.0 will fund grant projects that fill critical workforce skill gaps by creating opportunities for disadvantaged California job seekers to earn industry-valued credentials and enter into pre-apprenticeship leading to apprenticeship, or direct employment in the energy efficiency or construction sectors.

The first round of Proposition 39 grants (Prop 39 1.0) was announced in February 2014, and resulted in ten innovative projects (click here for a full list of grantees). Prop 39 2.0 will build upon these successes, and solicit new strategies for California’s green/clean economy.
